Czech Republic vs Croatia match prediction 09 October 2025
For this matchup, our first pick will be a riskier option: a win for the visitors. The Croatian national team is in excellent form, the squad has a 100% record in the qualifiers, crushed their upcoming opponent 5–1 in the first-round match, clearly showing a class difference between the sides.
Additionally, the Czechs have their leading forward and top scorer, Patrik Schick, sidelined. Most importantly, a victory in the Czech Republic would almost secure first place in the group and a World Cup spot for the Balkans. All signs point to the visitors, and we recommend betting on them at a favorable odds.
As for the total, we expect the match to be relatively high-scoring. The absence of Schick is a blow to the home side’s attacking potential, but it doesn’t completely neutralize them — the Czechs are still capable of scoring, especially in a home game where their motivation will be high.
